[SOLVED] Kernel panic, unable to mount root after upgrade to 2.6.36

I'm getting this error when I boot now:

List of all partitions:
No filesystem could mount root, tried:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
Pid: 1, conn: swapper Not tainted 2.6.36-ARCH #1
Call Trace:

Root is just a JFS filesystem on sda2. It's not encrypted and there's no volume management stuff.

I'm guessing the JFS module got screwed up, so if anyone has JFS working on the new kernel then please post about it.

Rebuild your initcpio.

Yep, that fixed it. Why didn't the post install script from the package rebuild it as usual though?

Re: [SOLVED] Kernel panic, unable to mount root after upgrade to 2.6.36

There's an outstanding bug in mkinitcpio where it reports success even when the actual image creation fails. Might be responsible.
